Chimney Sweep In London

London

London is the reason SweepSmart exists. Our founder Paul was born in the East End, a true Cockney within the sound of Bow Bells, and built this business from the ground up sweeping the Georgian terraces of Islington, the Victorian rows of Hackney and the mansion flats of Kensington. We cover the whole of Greater London, from the interwar semis of Bromley and Croydon to the townhouses of Chelsea and the new-build conversions of Canary Wharf, and the capital's extraordinary range of chimney architecture is something we never take for granted. Almost every borough sits within a Smoke Control Area, which means DEFRA compliance matters as much as the sweep itself, and with over half of London's homes built before 1950, period flue knowledge isn't optional. We complete nearly 4,000 jobs a year across the city, which means wherever you are in London, there's a good chance we've already swept the chimney next door. If you want a chimney sweep who knows London properly, you've come to the right place.

SweepSmart aren't your average chimney sweep

We're a Guild of Master Sweeps accredited company, one of a relatively small number of businesses in the UK that has earned that status. Paul, our founder, holds an NVQ Level 3 in Chimney Engineering, making him one of only five specialists at that qualification level in the entire country. We're also a Which? Trusted Trader, assessed and approved since 2015. That combination of credentials is rare in this industry. Most chimney sweeps are sole traders with no formal accreditation. When you book with SweepSmart, you're booking with a team that has put the work in.
